: Does having Abuse and Postmaster Emails help to stop being treated as SPAM? I read on some blog (I don't remember the URL) that having abuse@mydomain.com and postmaster@mydomian.com in addition

@Radia820

To be honest I've never heard of such requirements with any of my recent web development projects, nor have I even had clients use those exact emails. Even at my company we stick with emails on a real name basis because abuse & postmaster are so generic that they're essentially spam magnets for bots since it's a default term.

If you wanted to play it safe you always could use an alias and forward it to a main account or just delete all email through there. From my experience, even at the server level on Linux, when I setup Dedicated/VPS DNS Servers I've used my primary company email so I'm atop of any issues.

No. It's (maybe) just wrong text, but having these mailboxes doesn't change classifications of e-mail.
Having postmaster@ is a requirement from RFC-world, having abuse@ is just bon ton (proper) between postmasters.

It would appear so. After a quick search I turned up a few links that described why it is important to have.
